The Hubble Telescope is working again. I love this photo. I'm using it as my desktop wallpaper right now. I so enjoy looking at the photos Hubble takes. I know that they are color enhanced to show specific things - different gases and rays of different sorts and all - but even so, I often wonder if God doesn't see them in color similar to this, too.People we know from one of our supporting churches in Colorado Springs had 4 bears in their neighborhood today. The photos look they were a mama and 3 older cubs. Kara, John and Stirling saw a bear run across the highway in downtown Woodland Park a few weeks ago, too. What is this - The Year of the Bear?
Mel asked me earlier this afternoon if I wanted some nastalgia. I said sure. He put on a John Denver cd. Oh my - yes, that does take me back. All the way to, hmm, when was it? 1973 I think, when I was working the in the Springs and was living with a roommate from Minnesota who also worked at the same place I did. I have a very vivid memory of being in her car, driving down Uintah Street on the way to work, listening to Rocky Mountain High. John Denver's life is so sad to me, tho. Usually when I listen to his music I think of drugs and alcohol, of immorality, of worshipping the creation rather than the Creator, and of the time he insulted me at a concert. Yes - he did. Me. It was at the Air Force Academy and he said something about Alaska and even tho my friend and I were way up in the nosebleed seats, we hooted and hollered a thumbs-up for Alaska and he insulted us. Can't remember what he said, I was so shocked by it. Traumatized, I tell you. Never got over it. Nope. My hero insulted me. sigh.
ha ha
Actually, my respect for him plummeted at that point, really. But I still like his music. I also am very sad to know that he is most likely in hell right now. I've never seen anything that remotely resembled a confession of faith in Jesus Christ by him, but instead, there is a lot of evidence that he was very into New Age stuff.
So sad.
We are going to L'viv next week for a few days. I called a gal to see if she can come over and check on Cheyenne and feed my little fishies. She said yes, altho she is also house sitting for someone else during that time. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when we are gone for 6 months. It's never been a problem before, but it sure will be now, finding a flat-cat-fish sitter. I'm already praying that God will show us just the right person to do it. One of the difficult things about living in two countries, of not really having a "home" on this earth but still being attached to living things. While we are gone, at least two of my plants always die, too, so I'll be curious to see after 6 months how many I have left. Just a few days won't matter next week for the plants, but it would matter for the fish. Oh dear. Worrying about it will not solve any of the problem. We'll see what happens.
The landlord, and probably his wife, are coming over again tomorrow morning early to finish fixing the kalunka. I hope this is it. Really, I do. I'm tired of them coming over all the time. I know, I know - it's been almost a whole week, maybe more than a week, actually. But - I want it done and over with!
I think I'm quickly heading into people-overload and I've hardly been around people all week. I even had part of one day where I was totally alone for 3 or 4 hours. I revelled in it! I loved it. I wanted MORE. Next week in L'viv maybe Mel and I can walk over to the cemetery again and just be alone together for a few hours there.
I don't think extroverts have any clue how much introverts NEED to be alone sometimes.
All for tonight. I have a whole bunch of dishes from dinner (company) tonight to do before I go to bed. It's after midnight again, which means the water is back on so now I can go do them! Mel will most likely go to bed alone, again, but I'll be there before too long!
Goodnight!
